As the premiere magical vocation, the Mage specializes in casting destructive and debilitating spells, but performs poorly at melee combat; though magi have high [[Wisdom]], they are physically frail and cannot equip heavy weapons such as {{Sword}}s, {{Axe}}s, {{Spear}}s, or heavy armour. | As the premiere magical vocation, the Mage specializes in casting destructive and debilitating spells, but performs poorly at melee combat; though magi have high [[Wisdom]] and [[Magical might|Magical Might]], they are physically frail and cannot equip heavy weapons such as {{Sword}}s, {{Axe}}s, {{Spear}}s, or heavy armour. | ||
Magi focus on crowd control, with most spells targeting multiple enemies at once. Offensive spells that do focus on one enemy usually keep pace with the physical attacks of melee characters until the late game, where it is better to buff such a character with [[Oomph]] instead. A Mage can also use the [[Evac]] spell to get the party out of a dungeon when things are dire, and can cast [[Zoom]] in most games as well. | Magi focus on crowd control, with most spells targeting multiple enemies at once to harm or hinder through a variety of elemental, debilitating, and impeding spells such as [[Sizzle]], [[Deceleratle]] and [[Snooze]].

Compared to a [[Sage]], Magi have fewer options in battle. However, this is made up for in sheer {{Magical Might}}, with the Magus' proficiency far surpassing the [[Sage]]'s even before stat-boosting equipment is taken into consideration. This makes them excellent at crowd control and inflicting incredible damage to bosses. | Compared to a [[Sage]], Magi have fewer options in battle.
